DAWN. 



/~\TJB illustration this week is of tlie black, blue and tun 

 V / English setter bitch Dawn, winner ot first at the List 

 New York show in the imported English setter bitch class. 

 She. is owned by Mr. H. Bailey Harrison, of Tdsonburg, 

 Canada. She is 'three years old and is by the celebrated 

 Gladstone out Of Clip, who are both winners in the field and 

 "!! i ■!;■■ bench. Dawn is a fine upstanding luteh of large size, 

 exceedingly well formed, and is said to be an excellent field 

 performer with a wonderful turn of speed. She is a hand- 

 some animal and has a gamy appearance that is very taking. 

 The cut is train a sketch by Harry Tallmau. 



SIZE OP COCKER SPANIELS.— With your pei-mission I 

 should like to say a word or two re the above subject and the 



letter from Mr. '.Jacobs, in your issue of the filth nit. I was 

 much Surprised to see by Sir. Jacobs's letter that Mr, Lang- 

 el to has taken a very great interest in spaniels tor many 

 years) was of opinion that a cocker should weigh 331bs., and 

 ■■rv pleased to see that Mr. Langdale put the matter 

 rieht invour last issue. I should now like just to mention 

 that, in inv ..'pinion, a cocker spaniel dog in show condition 

 should never exceed :.V)lbs.. and I think Mr. Jacobs's opinion 

 that a cocker should weigh Ssibs. is certainly more absurd 

 than the weight now fixed by the Kennel Club at their shows, 

 which Mr. Jacobs terms -absurd.'' "Stbhehenge, 1 ; in his last 



1 ",k. published in 1873, selects a cocker weighing lSJ^ll 

 for his illustration. The Birmingham show committee, v. lieu 

 they bad a class for cockers, fixed the weight at Albs, for 

 and "tubs, fur bit rites, and the Kennel Club committee 

 have tried at their shows classes at 251bs.. '-".'lbs. and 'iOlbsj. 

 The Kennel Club Show prize list... as we read in the Kennci 

 '.is made, up bv the committee, and on the Kennel 

 Club committee I see the names of three' gentl'ero en /whose 

 spaniels I have see o. exhibited at the large London dog shows 

 before we had fchi Kennel Club Loudon shows. These facts. 

 I think, must be sufficient to show that if Mr. Jacobs thinks 

 i I ... in absurd weight for a cocker spaniel, there are plenty 

 of other people who know something of spaniels that uo not, 

 That the cocker is a most useful spaniel is not, I think, dis- 

 puted, and it is certain that it has been more talked about, 

 this last vear or so than for many years. The Americans, 

 who are first in so many things nowadays, are giving the 

 cocker extra, attention, and I should much like to see our 

 . -hows follow suit bv making a dog and bitch class, and 

 the weight valbs. for dogs and 22ibs. for bitches. Mr. Lang- 

 dale, 1 notice, suggests that the Kennel Club at their shows 

 sle .ii Id co hi for the name of cocker in their spaniel classes. I 

 ,-ith him: in fact, I mentioned it to a member of 

 lub at the summer show of I8SL and [ think the. 

 she .. I come in between the Sussex and the 

 k spaniels. This -would no doubt interfere some- 

 „ _je "Kennel Club Calendar;" but if it was started 

 by the Kennel Club same time as a new volume of the calen- 

 dar. I should think the difficulty might be got over.— Jas.

PROPOSED IRISH SETTER CLUB. 



THE following letter, which we clip from the Live Stoclt 

 Journal, we. earnestlv commend to the attention of the 

 lovers of litis grand bfeed of dogs, and would suggest, that 

 lilar action be taken in this country, not only by those in- 

 i'd in the Irish se.rers, but thai the lovers of all the 

 different breeds and strains oi dogs whose identity and char- 

 acteristics are worth preserving Should organize clubs upon a 

 broad, national basis, and with the sole object in unt ot 

 maintaining the puritv, and improving the good qualities ot 

 tlieir especial favorites. TVe should like to see this matter 

 fully discussed in the columns of Forest and St hi: am, and 

 trust that the lovers of "man's best friend" will come forward 

 and propose some plan of organization that will meet the ap- 

 proval of aU, and that the good werit mac go on "until each 

 and every dog in the land shrdl, by the comeliness of Ins form 

 and the excellence of his abilities, attest the wisdom of the 

 benificent and fostering care that b.ings to him his perfect 

 da,v. The letter is as. follows: 



gut— Having been requested by several gentlemen inter- 

 3 i,i the breed to take the uecessarv steps for the forma- 

 tion of an Irish Setter Club, I have much pleasure in doing 

 so, and solicit the favor of your kind assistance by the publi- 

 cation of this letter in your columns. 



That Irish' setters require more protection than individual 

 owne- s can positively give them, renders the format i. 

 club not only necessary, but essential to the preservation of 



^'heobjet for which the club is be - stablished will be 

 (amongst others) the preservation of (he purity of the breed,

HOBOKEN DOC POISONERS. 



Editor Fore.it and Stream! 



Last Monday evening, the 20th of June, some miscreant 

 poisoned -my old champion English setter Jersey Duke, and 

 his promising daught ir, Jers j Maid. The latter died before 



luckily saved. The ci crunst nc were as follows: Abpul B 



o'clock in the evening, when with several brothers and friends 

 of mine, on the front veranda of my residence, in West Ho- 

 boken. Is. ,T.. the. docs were let out of their kennel, which is 

 surrounded by high i.necs and at, least 120 feet from the 

 street, and allowed to be- with-us m the garden. As 'quite a 



were careful not to allow- them i mt of the gate, and the. only- 

 time when either of the four dogs about us were at all on the 

 sidewalk was when they jumped from the veranda over 

 the fence. They were immediately called in, and not one of 

 them was more than a half-dozen feet from my fence. As I 

 had to go out. I personally put them iu the kennel and closed 

 ;.' ,i -s . and while doing so noticed nothing strange in either 

 oi them. I had hardlv gone from home a. quarter of an hour 

 when a friend came with the news that Maid had given une 

 fearful yell and dropped dead in the kennel. When I got 

 home I immediate! v noticed strong symptoms of poisoning on 

 Duke, and gave him without delay all the sweet oil I had in 

 tlie ho us,- — about a cupful; and followed if up with a mixed 

 dose of grease, hot water and salt, and thereafter gave quite 

 a quantity of "strong whisky. The dog fought with all his 

 might against the administering «>f these emetics, and i had 

 1 1. fairly lift him off his feet. When I gave him the first oil 

 he staggered around the room, tail drawn in. hind I . 

 Lyzed and drawn forward, and he fell repeatedly dat on his 

 bally. He seeiued to suffer fearful pain, and was very much 

 excited. Alter a while he grew quieter, but did not vomit till 

 i several hours afterward. For two d ays after he showed the 

 effects of the poison — strychnine without a doubt — very 

 plainly, but he is now all right m.im ,. 



The question now arises, who is the heartless scoundrel that 

 makes it his business to poison the does regularl;, every Bum- 

 mer for vears past,.' As I have good reason to believe that the 

 Township Committee was behind it all two years ago, Of 

 course I suspected that probably tin's year it emanated from 

 the same source, and made up my mind to sue the township 

 lor damages if f was able to fasten the crime on anybody in 

 Hiithorily. I, for this reason, attended a f '. /mmittee meeting 

 of our authorities, but am glad to -i. that I ■. same con- 

 demned, the practice very strongh . andhave taken steps to. if 



possible, detect, the guilty parties. C i the CO 



personally, and myself have offered S150 for _ inform; 



will lead to the discovery of the guilty parties. Aj 



tion was issued, as usual, that all dogs running on 1 in- streets 



may he killed by anybody unless muzzled. HaS anybody a 



right to issue such a proclamation and order? Has th b ■' 



.; . i catch and pound the dogs forwhichwe pi - ces 

 before killing them, as long as the same are haa mless Surely 

 i . has the right, to throve poison broadcast over the 

 .rival property. The indignation of many citi- 

 zens and dog-owners in our town rtms high, and if we can 

 fasten the crime on anybodj ; hers will have a 



boom. Jus/nis. von Lexgerke.

PALIS DOG SHOW.— The dog show held in Paris, June S, 

 judgieg i'veu the meager reports that we find in the English 

 papers appears to have been quite a success, nearly 500 dogs 

 being on exhibition, many of them excellent specimens* The 

 attendance was also very good, much better than at the show 

 last vear. The success was very encouraging to the enthusi- 

 astic managers who have labored under difficulties that were 

 a 'most insurmountable, and they feel no little piide in the 

 fact that the Paris dog show bids fair to become a permanent 

 institution, and they trust that through its influence a marked 

 impr. icemen! will soon be manifest in the different breeds of 

 dogs. We are unable to give the breeding or even the names 

 of the winners, as the prizes that are announced are only men- 

 tioned as being awarded to the owners. We shall probably 

 receive fuller details soon which will enable us to lay before 

 our readers a full report of the proceedings. 



kOEDON SETTER LOST.— Mr. L. M. Levering, of Balti- 



mo-e. M.I.. writes us that his Gordon setter dog has strayed 



r 1 1 stolen. The dog is about four years old, of medium 



- ;, . ,: uds M inches high, weighs about 4o pounds, and is 



: i inv one knowing of his whereabouts will confer a 



favor by addressing his owner, P. O. box 793, Baltimore, Md.
